AI Agents (MCP)

The @terranode-co/mcp-server package gives AI agents tools to run spatial queries — point-in-polygon lookups, nearest feature search, distance calculations, and spatial joins. No code required.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• A Terranode API key — sign up at app.terranode.co

Setup — Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "terranode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@terranode-co/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TERRANODE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

For setup with Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP clients, see the full README on npm.
